India (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India underwent an MRI on Monday and apparently received encouraging results, as he's been cleared to return to game action with the Triple-A club. The 25-year-old hasn't played since April 30, so he'll require several rehab games before he's reinstated from the 10-day injured list. However, the Reds are hopeful that India will rejoin the major-league club in time for the team's upcoming homestead against the Brewers, which begins June 17, per C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. He should reclaim his role as the Reds' everyday second baseman once he's activated since he slashed .295/.311/.341 with two doubles, five runs and three RBI over 11 major-league games prior to his absence.

Kemp entered Sunday's loss to the Red Sox as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and finished the game at second base, going 1-for-1 with a walk.

The veteran hit safely for the fourth time in six games in his cameo appearance Sunday. Kemp's season slash line sits at an unsightly .238/.320/.285, but he's trending in the right direction with a .353 average and .436 on-base percentage over the 39 plate appearances he's logged in the last 11 games.

Westburg was elevated to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Westburg will make his way to Norfolk after batting .247 with nine homers, 32 RBI, 32 runs and three stolen bases over 182 at-bats in 47 games with Double-A Bowie this year. The shortstop moves one step closer to the major leagues, getting promoted with fellow infielder Gunnar Henderson on Monday.

Haggerty went 2-for-3 in an extra-inning win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Haggerty drew the start in left field and made some noise out of the bottom of the order with his first two hits of the season. The utility man has only logged 10 plate appearances overall since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma on May 22, but he figures to remain on the big-league roster for the time being with Kyle Lewis (concussion) and Mitch Haniger (ankle) both sidelined.

Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Orioles.

Gimenez took Orioles starter Dean Kremer deep in the first inning, and the Guardians were able to make it stand for the rest of the contest. The infielder has homered in three of his last five games, driving in eight runs and scoring five times in that span. He's delivered a fairly well-rounded game in 2022, slashing .307/.429/.540 with seven homers, 29 RBI, 19 runs scored, four stolen bases, two triples and seven doubles in 42 contests. Gimenez will likely still sit out against some left-handed pitchers, but he's approaching a near-everyday role in the middle of Cleveland's infield.

Rodgers went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-7 loss to Atlanta.

Rodgers delivered a two-run double in the first inning and a solo shot in the fifth, both off Atlanta starter Charlie Morton. This was Rodgers' second three-hit game in June after a three-homer effort in the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Marlins. The infielder is up to a .266/.316/.428 slash line with six homers, 26 RBI, 28 runs scored and 10 doubles through 187 plate appearances overall.

Semien went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Semien hit a solo shot in the third inning and was also on base with a single when Mitch Garver went yard in the eighth. This was Semien's first multi-hit game since May 27, though he's been held without a hit only twice in his last 10 contests. He's up to a .196/.257/.292 slash line with three homers -- all in that 10-game span -- 19 RBI, 26 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 230 plate appearances.

Arraez went 4-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over Toronto.

Arraez reached base in each of his five plate appearances while scoring a run in the second and eighth innings. Over his last 18 appearances, the 25-year-old has gone 30-for-71 (.423) with 10 multi-hit games. He improved his season slash line to an impressive .358/.447/.407 with 29 runs scored through 188 plate appearances.

Estrada went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, a walk, a hit-by-pitch and a run scored in a 5-1 victory Sunday in Miami.

Estrada started the Giants' fourth-inning rally with a single. He later stole third base and came around to score on Donovan Walton's grand slam. The second baseman is 8-for-8 in stolen base attempts on the season. With a .357/.438/.500 batting line over his last 17 games, the 26-year-old has come to life at the plate after a slow start.

Gorman is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cubs, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Gorman is hitting .265 with three home runs and 15 strikeouts in his last 10 games, including two strikeouts apiece in each of his last three games. Edmundo Sosa will man shortstop while Tommy Edman slides to second base.
